Additional information:
No proof of English proficiency by an English test is required for applicants who are native English speakers, who have resided for a reasonable period in an English speaking country, or who come from an anglophone country. Applicants who have been taught through English for the majority of their courses (college or university) do not need to submit results from a standardized test such as TOEFL, IELTS, APIEL, or CPE. However, it is recommended that they attach an official statement (signed by an official of the college or university, e.g. the dean's or registrar's office) which indicates that English was the medium of instruction. For all other applicants, it is recommended that they submit proof of their English proficiency. This can be done by submitting the results of a standardized test such as TOEFL, IELTS, APIEL, or CPE. Participation in such a test is recommended, but not mandatory. For the selection and admission process, regular copies of the test score are usually sufficient. If possible, submit the test results together with your application before the deadline. If you receive the results of the language test after the application deadline, it is recommended to submit it only if you have qualified for the written subject test organized by the programs. Please note that your application benefits from the submission of an excellent score in an English language test. However, the application procedure allows students the option of participating in subject tests or interviews without proof of English proficiency. In this case, successful candidates can be admitted to the program based on the demonstration of language skills in the interviews.

Application Documents


During the online application, you will be asked to enter information regarding your current and permanent address, your CV with photo, your education (recent and previous enrollment) and academic background, language proficiency, honors, awards, and motivation. You should also indicate up to five research groups of the program you find particularly interesting.

The online application tools will allow you to upload relevant documents electronically (supported file types are: pdf, jpg, jpeg, gif, png). Your application will only be further processed if at least the following documents have been uploaded:

  1. CV with photo.
  2. Transcript/mark sheet.
  3. Certificate/diploma for any completed course of studies for which the degree certificate has already been issued.

You can also upload an English language or GRE certificates if available. All submitted documents must be in English or German. Certified copies of documents are not required for the application (i.e. regular copies are sufficient). Only upon admission to the program, all relevant documents (e.g. diploma, transcripts) must get certified. This can be done, for example, by the dean's or registrar's office of your university, a German embassy or consulate, or a public notary.

In addition, you will be asked to indicate the contact data of two referees who will write letters of recommendation for you. You should inform the referees about your intention to apply to the program several weeks in advance. Only letters of recommendation which reach the university by January 18th can be considered in the evaluation of your application. In case your recommendation letter(s) doesn't reach the university in time, your application will still be processed and evaluated based on the documents available. The referees suggested by you will receive an automated e-mail request from the university at the e-mail address you indicate. This request will be posted as soon as you submit your complete application.
